Before you apply

Questions people actually ask

Will checking my rate hurt my credit score?
No. We and most of our lenders use a soft inquiry to show your offer, which doesn’t affect your FICO® score. A hard pull may happen only if you accept a loan, and the lender will tell you first.
How fast can I actually get the money?
Most approved borrowers see funds the next business day. Same-day funding is possible with some lenders if you’re approved before ~11:30 AM ET on a weekday.
What if I can’t repay on time?
Contact your lender before the due date — many offer extended payment plans at no extra fee (required by law in several states). Rolling a loan over is the most expensive option; treat it as a last resort. See our Responsible Lending page.
Are you a lender?
No. loan-payday.com is a free matching service. We pass your request to lenders licensed in your state and show you their offers — we don’t make credit decisions or fund loans ourselves.
